The Role of the Da'i Kamtibmas Polda Lampung in the Eradication of Premanism for Creating a Safe, Clean and Prosperous City

Abstract

. This qualitative research aims to reveal the role of the Lampung Police Kamtibmas preacher in eradicating thuggery to create a clean, safe and prosperous city of Bandar Lampung. The city of Bandar Lampung, which incidentally is the provincial capital, is also not spared from the crime of thugs. This study uses social role theory from Ralph Linton which has variables of social interaction, cognitive concepts and social actors. The results show that the Kamtibmas da'i interacted with social contacts and communication with thugs in a humanistic and moderate way. They carry out community empowerment in the context of equitable power sharing, in the sense of working together and listening to each other. Da'i Kamtibmas attaches importance to the subject's "recognition" of the "ability" or "power" of the Preman. This process sees the importance of the flow of power from da'i to thugs. Da'i Kamtibmas acts as a social actor by being a friend by showing an example and being an effective listener. With these steps, the da'i kamtibmas plays a role in eradicating thuggery from its roots with a humanism approach.
